System and method for facilitating location of driver-participants of car transportation systems

1. A system for facilitating location of driver-participants of car transportations systems, comprising: a signal emitting device in communication with a car transportation system, the signal emitting device configured to transmit a radio signal to an electronic device, the radio signal including a unique identifier for identifying the signal emitting device; a first processor; a first memory in operative communication with the first processor; a first logic stored on the first memory, that when executed by the processer, causes the system to perform a first method, the first method comprising the steps of: transmitting a number corresponding to the unique identifier to the electronic device; retrieving location data of the signal emitting device; transmitting the location data of the signal emitting device to the electronic device; the electronic device in communication with a car transportation system, the electronic device including a graphic user interface and a wireless transceiver configured to receive the transmitted radio signal; a second processor; a second memory in operative communication with the second processor; a second logic stored on the second memory, that when executed by the second processor, causes the system to perform a second method, the second method comprising the steps of: storing the number corresponding to the unique identifier in the second memory; retrieving the number from the second memory upon the wireless transceiver receiving the radio signal from the signal emitting device; comparing the retrieved number to the unique identifier transmitted with the received radio signal; determining a match; recognizing the signal emitting device and ascertaining the location of the signal emitting device based on the location data transmitted therewith.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising: a driver-participant of the car transportation system; a passenger-participant of the car transportation system; wherein the signal emitting device corresponds to a vehicle of the driver-participant, the signal emitting device including the first processor, the first memory, and the first logic; wherein the electronic device corresponds to the passenger-participant, the electronic device including the second processor, the second memory, and the second logic.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the signal emitting device includes an electronic device through which the driver-participant utilizes the car transportation system.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the signal emitting device is independent of a network or internet connection, such that the signal emitting device is configured to transmit the radio signal absent a network or internet connection.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the signal emitting device comprises a beacon.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the signal transmitted by the signal emitting device includes high frequency radio waves transmitting at a transmit power ranging from 4-8 decibel-milliwatts (dBm).

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the radio signal is configured to have a signal range of 50-90 meters.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the signal is transmitted over an interval ranging from between ten times per second and one time per second.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the signal emitting device includes a wireless transmitter for transmitting the signal and a wireless receiver in communication with the car transportation system.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the graphic user interface includes an input for controlling and manipulating the graphic user interface.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the graphic user interface includes a display, a map, and a compass; wherein the second method further comprises the steps of: displaying the location of the signal emitting device and the location of the electronic device on the map; and providing navigation directions towards the signal emitting device via the graphic user interface.
